Biography
Dr. Josephson is a clinician-scientist in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Centre for Health Informatics, O'Brien Institute for Public Health, and the Hotchkiss Brain Institute. He completed his medical school and neurology residency at Dalhousie University. He has completed fellowships in intracranial vascular malformations at the University of Edinburgh and epilepsy and EEG at the University of Calgary.
His research is focused on applying advanced analytics, machine learning, and predictive modeling to epilepsy outcomes. In addition, he has interests in evidence-based medicine, basic epidemiology, and on predictive modelling of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for epilepsy.
He has been the recipient of the 2018 Canadian League Against Epilepsy Young Investigator of the Year Award, the 2010 European Stroke Conference Young Investigator of the Year Award, and has received funding through the 2014 American Brain Foundation/American Academy of Neurology/American Epilepsy Society/Epilepsy Foundation Susan S. Spencer Clinical Research Training Fellowship in Epilepsy, a 2014 Alberta Innovates Health Solutions (AIHS) Clinician Fellowship, and a 2013 Canadian Institutes Health Research (CIHR) Fellowship.
Research
Areas of Research
My research interests are focused broadly on the applications of ‘big data’ in health care and specifically on the methodology, development, and application of diagnostic and therapeutic predictive models for epilepsy. In order to accomplish these goals, my aim is to apply advanced computational modeling (machine learning, artificial neural networks, and deep learning) to large electronic health records collected during the course of routine clinical care and linked administrative data that are of a sufficient volume and variety to permit the discovery of new insights that cannot be appreciated from smaller datasets. Biological indices in the form of raw electroencephalographic and imaging data, and whole exome sequencing, will be used to refine these models to generate clinically robust, intuitive predictive algorithms that can be used to enhance patient care through precision medicine.
